"Heh, you live and you learn I suppose. You will see that with time comes lots of experience, and its not ALL about being old. I'm sure your father would agree with me on that." Pfft, Ariston wasn't that old... or was he?! He needed to figure that out with Guilian...
"Plots? Well, I hope you are only thinking of silly things, and nothing too scary!" Once again, he saw Tina as only lovable anyway, so he assumed she had no scary twists or turns in her personality. "Plus the way your older siblings treated you was natural anyways, its like their right to sort of make fun of anyone new in the family. If I end up having more children, I have no doubt that my children will get rowdy about it.." And he would probably just laugh along the way!

Tina giggled at Ariston's words, wondering if she sounded kind of weird or creepy for referring to her games as 'plots'. "I just plan on learning how to stick up for myself, you know, grow a bigger backbone. Sometimes I think that I let things fly by me too easily, and I want to be smooth and sturdy like my parents." Her father was extremely smooth and chill, and her mother was much keener and ahead of everybody. She wanted the best of both worlds, and she was working hard to strengthen her mind.
With a light bounce of her curls, Tina then nudged at Ariston playfully, before stepping away from him again. "So there is a family hierarchy out there, eh? I wish I had known that when I was little! I just thought everyone was out to get me.." But as Ariston said, you live and you learn! "Ah well, its good to know that they didn't hate me or anything. I know that is extreme, but I worry so."

"The best way to learn all those things is to talk to as many personalities as you can. If you learn to communicate with some of the hardest personalities, you will see that your backbone will grow in both toughness and wit! By doing that, you will see some great results." Tina was already extremely social, and she didn't seem insecure in the least bit. "You enjoy talking, right? Then you will have no problems. Its all about practice."
With a wing-stretch, Ariston looked up towards the sky, only to realize that it had become darker and later. How long had he and Tina been standing there? He must have really enjoyed himself! "Family hierarchy is just a normal fact of nature. At least yours wasn't too bad, right? You still had an awesome childhood. And why would they hate you? Now THAT is extreme." He grinned happily, before brushing his hair out of his face.

Tina was listening as carefully as she could, and she suddenly felt excited, since there were so many personalities for her to meet! "I will definitely do that, Ariston. And when I see some improvement, I will come tell you about it." That would be fun, wouldn't it? To report to someone who knew everything best? "But until then, I will have to keep working!"
"And yes, you are right again. My childhood was rather nice.." she watched as Ariston looked up towards the sky, and she surprisingly looked up herself, only to notice the darker hues about her. "Oh my, when did it become so late?" Had she and Ariston really been standing there that long? They made good company for each other! "I suppose we should go our separate ways soon..." That was sort of sad, and Tina couldn't place why.

"Aye, it is late m'dear. But it is still bright enough for you to part ways and have a safe endeavor through the land. I wouldn't want you wandering around when it is too dark." He paused for a moment, and wondered if he was being rude. "Do you need an escort on your trip back home?" Or really, wherever she was going? He should have asked her that before assuming she was fine.
"Hopefully it won't storm or anything, but I would feel awful if you needed help or something!"

Tina smiled at Ariston's kindness, before stretching her neck out slowly. "Do not worry, I don't need anything Ariston. I can make it back just fine!" Hehe, it was funny to see him worrying about her, it must have been that family instinct he talked about before. "But I hope to see you soon, and I hope next time that you can meet my brother and sister along the way."
Tina then stepped back for a moment, before politely nodding one more time. "Have a good night Ariston, it was a pleasure to finally meet you!" With one last curtsy, she finally strode off in a trot, before smiling to herself at her awesome encounter.

Ariston grinned while saying his goodbyes to the mare, before finally watching her dart away from him. He would most definitely try and find the rest of the family soon, since meeting her excited him enough! "Until next time!" he then said, with a loud and comforting voice. Within seconds, Ariston made his way into the air, so that he could watch the mare trot throughout the land. When he noticed that she was soon surrounded by other horses and company, he turned himself around and made his way home, since he was now content with knowing that she was safe and sound.
He couldn't wait to find Guilian, and to tell him that he had met yet another one of his children. But until then, he would need to find someone else to keep him entertained, since the night was still young!
